Hey Rbn,
I found an awesome tutorial that utilizes the Alpha 6 version of BBPress…not the latest one since no one can seem to get it working. http://theeasybutton.com/blog/2009/04/30/integrating-buddypress-10-wpmu-and-bbpress/
Just follow those instructions EXACTLY and you’ll get the integration up and running.
WPMU 2.7.1, BuddyPress 1.0 (current latest), and BBPress Alpha 6 (note, Chris posted a link for this download in the above tutorial since it is unavailable on the BBPress site…at least I can’t find it there.)

DJPaul,
I deleted all of the wp_bp tables. I’m not sure what you meant by check the wp_sitemeta table for similarly-named buddypress settings? Could you give me an example of what you are talking about? Here are the meta_keys for the sitemeta table? Anything I need to do or am I good to go with the reinstall?

Similar to the issue at:
http://buddypress.org/forums/topic.php?id=2803
Add Friend ‘hangs’ if PERMALINKS is anything but Default. The friend is actually added, but the button does not change to the ‘Friendship Requested’ but stays the same with the little animation on the side.
If you change the PERMALINKS to the Default setting, then the Add Friend functions and changes the status to ‘Friendship Requested’
BP 1.0
WPMU 2.7.1

Hello! I have not any idea of programation, maybe you can use this jquery component for your chat. I think it’s simple.

Sorry for my english! 
Hey this plugin rocks. I’m testing it now. Other people should come by and test too …SO COOL!

Yes. all the buddypress tables are prefixed _bp_ which are in turn prefixed by whatever the buddypress table prefix is (by default, wp_).
Also check the wp_sitemeta table for similary-named buddypress settings.
@Roy McKenzie – I didn’t find it, I wrote it based on some Ajax libraries – which still need some modification. Thus the chat plugin is very much still in development.
@Gpo1 – Those 2 features are data intensive because of the way Twitter’s API works. I’m thinking of how to implement that without overburdening the system. Image if you have 10,000 users of your site and all of them are using those 2 Twitter features you’re asking for – that’s a lot of traffic back and forth between your site and Twitter’s site. It can be done, just thinking of how to handle it optimally.
There were a couple of bugs in the chat that I found today – those would have caused it not to work properly. So if anyone can test again, thanks.
trust me, use statcounter.com, it’s amazing, free, fast, and invisible
i just want to make sure this plugin will adequately cover all of buddypress as well.
@M, When completed can you submit this to the WP plugin repo so it will show up on the BuddyPress site?
@Xmike, “can you submit this to the WP plugin repo so it will show up on the BuddyPress site?”
Please add users followering avatar & tweets as well as reply feature this would be a top-notch plugin.
And also for chat plugin add the avatars in the chat-box whom you are chatting with?
Only bp themes go into /wp-content/bp-themes. Normal wp themes do not go there. They live in /wp-content/themes as always. If you have just upgraded to 1.0 then the bp member theme directory name has changed from bp-member to bpmember due to changes in wpmu 2.7.1.
Go to the back end of wpmu BuddyPress > General Settings, make sure the default member theme is selected and press Save Settings. Should go away.
It would only be awesome if people actually answered the pre-set questions and if the others on the site cared about the answers. How much structure do you want to impose on people’s social interaction? It’s a good question. For instance, I rarely if ever use the “buckets” in the buddypress.org forums… I only look at the “latest posts” area.
As for implementing what you’re talking about… you need a programmer. I’m not sure exactly what your goal is but from what you’ve said… it does not sound simple… there would be programming involved.
p.s. Wire vs. Status seems like semantics to me… same difference.
I like the chat plugin,if you can add the avatars in the chat-box like FB chat?
Also, I changed my password on the sign and now I can’t login.
any ideas?
@Fi3ryfalc0nz and @Ineffabelle:
What versions of WPMU, BuddyPress, and bbPress are you using?
Have you followed the additional instructions in the installation-readme.txt file included in /buddypress/bp-forums/ folder?
Try switching to the standard, default Buddypress theme. If the issue goes away–meaning that you have three columns once again–then it is time to contact the facebuddy designers.
I have activated the themes in the WPMU settings section. I have also installed them in the directory wp-content/bp-themes
However in the BuddyPress settings it tells me “You do not have any themes installed”
Also when I try and access the profile section I get the error message
“You do not have any BuddyPress themes installed.
Please move “/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-themes/” to “/wp-content/bp-themes/” and refresh this page. You can download more themes here.”
However I have all the buddy press theme files and more in the right folder.
Such functions are from wpmu and not from buddypress. If you head over to wpmu forum, the documents, you’ll probably find the answer.
buddypress doesn’t have any forum unless you install and setup bbpress.
turn it off in your WPMU admin > buddypress > general settings
Excellent. Will def try this plugin when my website has enough members to want to sort in a logical manner
